Maiden of a 48” wingspan 30mm EDF flying wing

Things I noticed during this flight And to address in the later versions is that the plane seems to have three major problems. it was significantly under powered, which I understood to some extent when designing the plane, but this is way more underpowered than I expected. The plane also seems to be tail heavy and has a lack of sweep which gives it a lot of instability in flight, this manifests in fish tailing and a random pitching moment in the plane. The last two are pretty easy to address, but the first one is a little bit more challenging. There doesn’t seem be an EDF in the range I’m looking for when it comes to thrust. 40 mm EDFs are hard too find, and the 50 mm EDF is too powerful. So, for my next version I’m probably going to use a combination of two 30mm EDFs
